Hot Rum Punch ....... Un Punch caldo al Rhum

Picture found on Internet.

A hot rum punch on a cold winter evening is one of those things that take me back in time. I can vividly recall when my dad used to prepare his special rum punch for us to keep us warm.
I really don't know where this drink had its origins but I read somewhere that popular spiced rum drinks have origins in Europe and Colonial America.
There are several recipes on the web for hot punches but I still prefer my dad's.
My dad's recipe for Hot Rum Punch:Ingredients
Serves: 3

750ml boiling water

3 tablespoons honey ( you can use brown sugar instead)

1 lemon, juiced

3 tablespoons rum

Preparation.
In a saucepan, bring water to boil. Remove from flame and add honey, lemon juice and rum, stir.
Serve warm with a slice of lemon.
ENJOY!
